Home delivery for what, would be my question. I absolutely hate home delivery for food, and that went for pizza delivery in the "bad old days" just as much as Doordash in modern times. I'm only ever getting food from local restaurants anyway, I'd rather get it myself.
But package delivery, hell yeah. It's opened up an unimaginable world of products that simply don't exist at a corner store.
I live about a 5 minute walk from my local post office, but that's still an order of magnitude less convenient than having stuff delivered to my house. Especially because the post office is not necessarily on my way home from wherever I happen to be.
I've never once worried about missing a package. you seem to be constructing an idealized world of urban life, while simultaneously creating a fantastically unsafe world of suburban life. I've never in my life had a package stolen from my porch. I don't have security cameras up all over the place, I just choose not to worry, and it all works fine.
- tjoff 4y ago"... that simply don't exist at a corner store." Which is why you have it delivered to your corner store... "and it all works fine." Why risk it if i it doesn't add anything. An insane amount of energy and effort for something that doesn't bring the slightest value. Don't focus too much about porch pirates, I haven't heard of them here at all so it is not part of my main argument. I just think it is wild that it exist at all (and evidently by youtube it can be a problem). A magnitude less convenient is still barely just inconvenient.
